Some times you just have to have a little fun and read a good kids book (even when no kids are around). [amazon_link id=”1554537681″ target=”_blank” ]Binky Takes Charge[/amazon_link] is just such a book. It is a cute comic book style book about a space cat named Binky. Binky’s is tasked with training the newest cadet in F.U.R.S.T. (Feline of the Universe Ready for Space Travel). But can he train this new cadet? Or is this cadet working for the aliens (aliens are bugs…what cat doesn’t love to chase and thwok aliens….er bugs)?

Publisher’s Book Description: Binky the space cat has been promoted to lieutenant. He’s now in charge of training the next generation of space cadets. But then he meets the new space kitten — who isn’t a kitten at all! Is someone trying to pull the fur over his eyes? Binky and Captain Gracie need to figure out the new cadet before the next alien attack!

The book is written and illustrated (very nicely we might add) by Ashley Spires. It is published by Kids Can Press and they recommend the book for kids 7 to 10. We say it is perfect for kids of ANY age (read it to younger kids, have older kids read it themselves, adult scifi geek cat owners will like it too).

Binky Takes Charge is the fourth book in the Binky Adventure series. We look forward to reading the first three books.
